Abstract

The crystalline dihydrate and hydrochloride trihydrate of a new betaine, namely, L·2H2O (1) and [L2H]Cl·3H2O(2) (L=p-Me2NC5H4N+CH2CO2), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Molecule L in compound1 [space groupPbcn, witha=15.732(3),b=7.894(2),c=18.304(4) Å, andZ=8] possesses approximateC s symmetry. The formation of hydrogen bonds by water molecules bridging neighboring carboxy oxygen atoms leads to an infinite two-dimensional network composed of a packing of two different kinds of 12-membered rings. In compound2 [space group PT witha=7.341(2),b=9.543(2),c=17.010(4) Å, α=82.43(2)°, δ=80.34(2)°, λ=74.05(2)°, andZ=2], the carboxylate groups of a pair of betaine molecules are bridged by a proton to form a dimeric cation L2H+ with a very strong asymmetric hydrogen bond of length 2.464(7) Å. The crystal structure features a hydrogen-bonded corrugated ribbon comprising an alternate arrangement of edge-sharing centrosymmetric (H2O)4(Cl−)2 and (H2O)4 rings running parallel to thea axis.
